Supply Network

TerraPower has developed a strong supply network that includes working relationships with more than 80 corporations, national laboratories, universities and expert consultants. These organizations, institutions, businesses and agencies possess a vast amount of nuclear research knowledge and experience that has been developed in the corporate and academic sectors over the past 50 years. With this unique supply network that crosses national, corporate and academic lines, TerraPower has access to the best minds in the nuclear research sector, including those who have implemented and managed large, complex international programs. This approach allows us to innovate in parallel, greatly speeding up the process to efficiently execute all the elements needed to develop, demonstrate and commercialize cutting-edge programs and technologies.

We seek to work with the best of the best in the industry, working together towards nuclear technology innovations that make the world a better place.
